All, I am about to buy my 3rd one of these. I like having one as a back up as it seems after a year of using it, the little part that moves the blade back and forth wears out. Have others had that or had the problem of the blade eventually going to...

Scott, I purchased this in April of this year and to date I have no complaints.

I too bought one. Pleased with the quality, but not with the shortness of the blade. Way too hard to sharpen and I have tried everything but an electric kitchen sharpener. I guess it is only good for a short stab and not so much for cutting.

I always have a couple spares laying around, but the razor seems to last forever. I have one that is over two years old and I have never yet tonot get a nice, close shave from it. They are the best - especially for the price.

I started using one in October 2014. It's February 2016, and I'm getting ready to switch to the second one. Like any razor, these will be super smooth at first, then go through a break-in period after a week or so. If you can put up with being careful with it for a couple of weeks, it becomes smooth again. More pressure required than a new blade, but you won't cut yourself like when it was three weeks old. I generally get 12 to 24 months out of one. Saves lots of money.

Edge retention is amazingly good. I have it now almost a year and have only needed to do light touch-ups now and then. I use it almost every day and I am amazed at how little I have to sharpen it. I live in Germany and also bought a sharpening system from Spyderco, which my mom still has at her house in Florida. I have been sharpening it half-ass using the underside of a coffee cup every few months and like I said, is still very sharp. The wide blade is the only thing that bothers me sometimes, not always easy to cut things when space is limited to get a blade between things. But overall it is a great knife.

I like the knife my friend has the same brand but not as good a model his works very well but gets. Hotter with prolonged use I have used mine for 4 hours straight without stopping his he needs to let rest every so often . I also like the blades that came with mine it easy to do small fish with the blades that are 1/2 the thickness but they can be bought separate . I have bought and and still have a Berkley knife and a tatertwister knife they was a a waist of money in my opinion . I hope this helps you make your mind .

Yes it is good so far. I initially went for the look of it, since I wanted a tanto style blade. The last Tech I had, the locking mechanism began to fail much earlier than I would have liked. I have not experienced a similar problem yet.

I been having a hard time using mine. It jams easily. The blade stops during cuts.

StacyI have had my Ninja since December 2012. I have used it 2 to 3 times daily and it is still working great. This week I finally broke down and ordered a new set of blades for it because mine seemed to be getting dull. I have the 770 abs it works great. When I went home for thanksgiving this year I bought the 1100 watt professional and gave it to my mother and she loves it also. It seemed to have a little less power but still did the job just fine. If this one ever died I will buy another one for sure. Love it!

I belive so as I looked into a replacment blade to have on hand as a spare and recall getting a price on one but never bought it. I have a large organic garden and use it heavier then a regular user. I slice all kinds of things up for a large dehydrator... This is a great tool that I honestly do not know how I got by without it. I'm still on my original blade and it is still sharp. Best money I ever spent on a kithcen type item!!

I make almond butter with it all the time. However, I have had to replace the blade twice since I purchased it. I purchased a blade on 12/11 and it is cracking again. I did contact the company and they are going to give me a replacement blade but require that I mail the damaged one back with tracking. There seems to be a design flaw with the blade since others have had the same problem.

I was doing similar cutting and found out to get the best cut I had to blow across the blade opening after 3 cuts. It seemed to get clogged with almost invisabe pieces of paper. I was using a new blade. Oncertainly I was done with all the fussy cutting blade works fine. Been told that a blade last 3 - 6 months with normal cutting. I had used a previous blade for Six months.

I've had it for little over a year (1 yr and 3 months). It no longer cuts any towels (Costco, Bounty, Scotts, generic). The blade gets stuck. I try to push it back and it sometimes works, however, it no longer works.

I used the first one of these I owned for about 4 years before I got to thinking I needed to change the blades. But life is life and I did not get around to changing the blades for another year, at which point the battery was starting to die. Even at the end with questionable blades I still got a close shave, and I have course facial hair. Also seems to be well made and should take any reasonable abuse. Can't comment on using it for shaving a head. Still got my hair.

I have had my shovel since Dec of 2010. It has seen alot of use and I think it has held up rather well. I remember being very impressed with the quality when I first got it. It does have one corner that has a small curl on it as of now and I know it is from shoveling into an asphalt birm alongside my driveway! I feel I have got my money's worth already and I see another 4 or 5 years at least before I'll need to replace it. Go for IT!

It's a great, sharp blade; but will tend to rust if not kept dry and maybe oiled. I've had mine for years and it's still rockin!

I was wondering if anyone has had this mower for over two years.. and how's it doing? I really want to buy this- but the price is steep for my budget, and I can't seem to find a retailer that offers an extended warranty for purchase. I am just afraid of buying it and it crapping out on me after just over two years. Anyone have any thoughts please?
